Guess what, girls? Even veteran runway strutters have high heel hang-ups from time to time--check out bona fide supermodel Agyness Deyn taking not one, but two tumbles at Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief event last night, after the jump.

Agyness Deyn has clocked more miles on the runway than practically any of her peers--between 2005 and 2009, she was the peroxide-pixie queen of the ready-to-wear collections--but last night, she was living proof that stilettos can be treacherous to even the most conditioned legs. Her ankle-strap platforms took her down once, and she laughed it off like a true pro, clapping her hands and giving a mischievous smile. But as soon as she was up again, she was down again...

I happened to be sitting pretty much directly next to her when it happened, and I saw designer Dennis Basso, who was directly across the runway from me, lean in and whisper, "Take them off!" to her. So she did! Check out the Twitpic I caught of it, above.

She finished the rest of her walk barefoot, but made it out for a second run in an even more lethal-looking pair of Louboutins. You've gotta hand it to Agyness, she will not be intimidated by six inches of pure shoe torture...

Kind of a relief that even pros like her take a tumble from time to time, huh? Discuss!
